All I Ask Is To Be Held

Happy Are Men Who Yet Before They Are Killed Can Let Their Veins Run Cold.

After All My Years Of Playing Soldiers, And Then Of Reading History, I Have Almost A Mania To Be In The East, To See Fighting, And To Serve.

All I Ask Is To Be Held Above The Barren Wastes Of Want.

Numbers Of The Old People Cannot Read. Those Who Can Seldom Do

I Tried To Peg Out Soldierly,--no Use! One Dies Of War Like Any Old Disease.
